Most cybersecurity threats begin in IT systems. But as the lines between IT and OT continue to blur, these same threats have more and more opportunities to move closer to critical control systems. Having both visibility and context into what assets are most at risk across your operational environments is crucial for maintaining the safety and availability of these systems.In this episode of the Security Sandbox, we'll cover the strategic use of cyber threat intelligence (CTI) to safeguard critical infrastructure and industrial environments.You'll learn about:Integrating OT/IoT threat intelligence with traditional IT threat intelligence for a complete picture of the attack surfaceUsing asset context when acting on threat intelligence in OT systemsReal-world examples of successful proactive threat responseVisit Our WebsiteFollow Us on LinkedIn

Over the past decade, operational technology (OT) systems have become increasingly digitized and more vulnerable to cyber threats, making effective cyber risk management more crucial than ever. This session will explore the concept of cyber risk, defined as the potential for loss or harm to digital infrastructure, and how you can proactively apply the latest tools, trends and techniques to reduce cyber risk and enhance the resilience of your OT systems.We’ll cover:Different risk scoring approaches, like quantitative, qualitative, and hybrid models, which help organizations prioritize and address vulnerabilities. Emerging trends in cyber risk management, including the growing adoption of AI-driven analytics, automation, and integrated security frameworks. How technologies like artificial intelligence and advanced threat detection systems are reshaping how organizations mitigate risk in OT environments.Visit Our WebsiteFollow Us on LinkedIn

Traditionally, operational technology (OT) operators have shied away from active monitoring methods, driven largely by concerns over system disruption and OEM vendor validation expectations. However, the tide appears to be turning. Over the past few years, we’ve seen mindsets evolving from relying on a 100% passive approach to embracing more active monitoring methods to get deeper asset context, including configuration information, log files, user activity correlation, USB insertions, and even operational data from level 0 in a PLC.During this session, we'll delve into the advancements in OT-safe proactive monitoring and how you could apply some of these latest developments towards securing your critical infrastructure while ensuring operational continuity and compliance.Visit Our WebsiteFollow Us on LinkedIn
